Vancouver, Canada joins international emergency protests
following sentencing of Chelsea Manning!
Activists and supporters of Chelsea Manning (formerly
Bradley Manning) came together on August 21st on less than 24 hours
notice to protest the unjust prison sentence of 35 years handed down to
Manning. Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) set up an information
table in downtown Vancouver while supporters held picket signs, collected
petition signatures and passed out brochures with information about the case
and sentencing. There was an unprecedented response of passer-bys in support of
Manning, and the info table and petitioners were constantly busy with people
signing the petition and expressing their opposition to the outrageous
sentencing.
The action caught the attention of Vancouver’s main news
talk radio station CKNW, who sent a reporter to cover the action. Supporter’s
chants of “Free Bradley Manning Now!” were recorded as well as an interview
with MAWO co-chair Janine Solanki. Coverage of the protest was aired on the
evening news and repeated throughout the night to the next morning on this
widely listened to station.
Vancouver supporters of Chelsea Manning and Mobilization
Against War and Occupation are ready to continue the fight to free Chelsea
Manning, and will be protesting again with a rally and petition campaign this
Saturday August 24th, in the same location in front of the Vancouver
Art Gallery in Downtown Vancouver.
Oasis of Mara, Joshua Tree NP, Twentynine Palms, CA
www.nbcsandiego.com/news/california/Man-Sentenced-to-Five...
A 26-year-old arson parolee was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles to five years behind bars and ordered to pay $21,000 in restitution for setting fire to historic trees and brush in the Oasis of Mara area of Joshua Tree National Park, which straddles the Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert and offers sweeping views, including of the Coachella Valley and the high peaks of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio.
George William Graham of Twentynine Palms started the March 26, 2018 fire by igniting a palm frond with a cigarette lighter, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Graham was observed watching the blaze and admitted to law enforcement officers that he started the fire, which consumed a number of historic trees and other National Park Service lands and natural resources.
U.S. District Judge Manuel L. Real sentenced Graham to the maximum term on the federal charge of unlawfully setting timber afire.
National Park Service Law Enforcement Rangers arrested Graham at the scene of the fire. He was known both to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and the National Park Service as a California arson parolee, with prior law-enforcement contacts with both state and federal authorities, according to court

The Serrano planted 29 palm trees
The oasis was first settled by the Serrano who called it Mara, meaning "the place of little springs and much grass." Legend holds they came to the oasis because a medicine man told them it was a good place to live and that they would have many boy babies. The medicine man instructed them to plant a palm tree each time a boy was born. In the first year, the Serrano planted 29 palm trees at the oasis. The palms also provided the Serrano with food, clothing, cooking implements, and housing. In addition, the palms are habitat for a wide variety of desert creatures from colorful orioles to the palm-boring beetle.
Indians, miners, & cowboys all used the oasis
Early American survey parties arrived at the Oasis of Mara in the 1850s and found the area under cultivation by the Serrano. Corn, beans, pumpkins, and squash were all grown with the life-giving waters that rise at the oasis along the Pinto Mountain Fault. The Chemehuevi settled at the Oasis in 1867 and intermingled peacefully with the Serrano.
By 1870, prospectors attracted to California by the discoveries at Sutter's Mill had drifted into the desert looking for gold. The Anaconda Mine began operation south of the Oasis in 1874. The Lost Horse, the Desert Queen, and other claims soon followed. Trees began to be cut at the Oasis, and water siphoned away to support the growing mining operations.
On the heels of the miners, cattlemen moved to the area in the 1880s to take advantage of the high desert grasslands of the Pinto and Little San Bernardino Mountains. The McHaney brothers ran an active cattle trade that was alleged to include stolen cattle that they pastured in isolated rocky coves near Hidden Valley.
Bill McHaney became the first non-Indian to live at the Oasis in 1879. Later, Jack Rankin and Billy Neaves built an adobe house at the east end of the Oasis. It stood for over 40 years and served as a residence, a stage line stop, and a meeting place. The Barker and Shays Cattle Company dug a 600-gallon well around 1900 for use by the growing population. A 1902 census found 37 Serrano and Chemehuevi living at the Oasis. As more non-Indians arrived, the Indian families began to drift away, and by 1913, the Serrano and Chemehuevi were all gone.
Following World War I, the town of Twentynine Palms saw an influx of veterans suffering from the effects of gas inhalation, drawn to the area by its warm, arid climate. The establishment in 1936 of a vast stretch of the desert above town as Joshua Tree National Monument drew more people to the area. The Twentynine Palms Corporation donated the Oasis of Mara to the National Park Service in 1950 to use as its headquarters and primary visitor center.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

Fortress Špilberk
The fortress Spielberg (Czech: Špilberk) is located in South Moravian Brno in the Czech Republic. It has a changing history as a medieval castle, fortress, barracks and prison behind it. Today are located in here exhibitions and a restaurant. The complex is a cultural and tourist destination of the Brno population. Its location on a hill offers a good view over the city.
Location
The former Spielberg fortress is situated on a hill (282 meters above sea level) above the old town of Brno.
History
Fortress
Spielberg Castle was built in the second half of the 13th century and has undergone some changes over the centuries. At first it was the Gothic castle of the Bohemian kings and seat of the Moravian margrave. In the middle of the 17th century, it was expanded into a powerful Baroque fortress. In the middle of the eighteenth century, with the then fortified city of Brno, it formed the most important bastion in Moravia.
The casemates, completed in 1742, were an important part of the fortress. They should provide protection for a 1200 man strong military corps. In the end, however, only military depots were placed here. In the year 1783, a prison was established for the most dangerous and worst criminals, in the course of the reform of the Austrian prison system by order of Emperor Joseph II. In 1785, the southern part of the casemates was also converted into a prison and called the Leopoldine tract. However, joint use as a military fortress and civilian prison was problematic.
After the destruction of important fortifications by the withdrawing Napoleonic army in 1809, the fortress lost its military importance. The whole fortress Spielberg became from 1820 a civilian prison. Under Franz Joseph I, the complex was again a military prison and barracks in 1855.
Fountain
The castle fountain is of medieval origin. In the years 1716 to 1717 its original depth was increased from 39 m to 112 m so that the ground was below the water level of the river Svratka in Old Brno. The upper part of the fountain is made of natural stone and bricks, while the lower part consists only of rocks. The average diameter is 3.5 m. The water level is 90 m, so that a water volume of more than 1,000 m³ is available. At the bottom of the well are two horizontal shafts with a length of 17 and 26 meters respectively.
By the Napoleonic troops, the well together with the destruction of the castle in 1809 was filled up but in the subsequent years it was exposed again. Above the well was a fountain house with a wooden wheel driven by convicts to bring up the water. This house was only abolished in the years 1939-1941 by the German Wehrmacht. The last cleaning work in the years 1990 and 1991 was connected with research, 308 m³ of material from the well were cleared. Interesting finds, which are exhibited in the Museum of the Castle, have been exposed. Among them is a skeleton of a soldier from the end of the 19th century. But his identity is unknown.
Near the well is a Baroque cistern, where the rain water of the surrounding roofs was caught.
Since 1990, on the rear wall of the castle courtyard, there is a clockwork consisting of 15 bells weighing between 16 kg and 220 kg.
Casemates
The casemates are laid out as a two-storey military dugout (for 1,200 men) with attached dungeon system below the castle buildings. From 1746 to 1749 Franz Freiherr von der Trenck was imprisoned here, his mortal remains are located in the crypt of the Capuchin monastery in Brno's old town. In 1783 Emperor Joseph II had the upper storey of the northern casemates rebuilt into a prison. In 1784 by imperial decree in the casemates of the lower story the sentenced for life have been quartered. In addition to this, 29 single-cells made of planks were built, in which the prisoners were forged to the wall. Spielberg became the most feared prison in the country. It was considered safe from outbreaks. Even the widely spread narrative of the only one escape from Spielberg prison castle of the very famous Czech robber Babinsky is just one of his numerous personal legends. This was spread by himself as a former Spielberg prisoner with the number 1042 after his release. In 1785, the upper storey of the southern casemates was also converted into a prison. From 1824 there was the Italian poet Silvio Pellico as a political prisoner. After his release in the autumn of 1830 he wrote his memoirs "Le mie prigioni", which made Spielberg's prison known throughout Europe.
In 1855, Emperor Franz Joseph I converted the former civil prison into a military prison. With the opening of the new penitentiary in Karthaus, 1857 the first felons were transferred there. In 1880 the casemates were made available to the public.
During the Second World War, the German army settled in in Spielberg. This led to considerable structural changes at the casemates in order to make them usable as a shelter. The Gestapo, in turn, also instituted here a notorious prison, where prisoners of resistance and opponents often died.
Today
During the years 1987 to 1992 comprehensive renovation work took place. The state of the eighteenth century was to be restored, so the time before the conversion of the fortress to the notorious dungeon of the Josephine period.
In addition to a tour of the dungeon and the casemates there are changing exhibitions and installations on the city and history with numerous documents in the castle's premises. A restaurant and a view tower in the inner part of the castle complex offer a nice panorama on parts of Brno. In the courtyard of the castle there are regularly concerts in the summer.
Festung Špilberk
Die Festung Spielberg (tschechisch: Špilberk) befindet sich im südmährischen Brünn in Tschechien. Sie hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte als mittelalterliche Burg, Festung, Kaserne und Gefängnis hinter sich. Heute befinden sich in ihr Ausstellungen und ein Restaurant. Die Anlage ist ein kultureller Ort und Ausflugsziel der Brünner Bevölkerung. Durch ihre Lage auf einer Anhöhe bietet sie einen guten Blick über die Stadt.
Lage
Grundriss der Festung Spielberg
Die ehemalige Festung Spielberg liegt auf einer Erhebung (282 m ü. NN) oberhalb der Altstadt von Brünn.
Geschichte
Festung
Die Burg Spielberg wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts angelegt und machte im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einige Wandlungen durch. Anfangs war es die gotische Burg der böhmischen Könige und Sitz des mährischen Markgrafen. Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde sie zu einer mächtigen Barockfestung erweitert. Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts bildete sie mit der damals ebenfalls befestigten Stadt Brünn das bedeutendste Bollwerk in Mähren.
Die 1742 fertiggestellten Kasematten waren ein wichtiger Teil der Festung. Sie sollten Schutz für ein 1200 Mann starkes militärisches Corps bieten. Letztlich waren hier jedoch nur Depots für militärisches Material untergebracht. Im Jahr 1783 wurde dort auf Beschluss Kaiser Josephs II., im Zuge der Reform des österreichischen Gefängniswesens ein Gefängnis für die gefährlichsten und schlimmsten Verbrecher eingerichtet. 1785 wurde auch der südliche Teil der Kasematten in ein Gefängnis umgebaut und leopoldinischer Trakt genannt. Die gemeinsame Nutzung als militärische Festung und ziviles Gefängnis war allerdings problematisch.
Nach der Zerstörung wichtiger Festungsteile durch das abziehende napoleonische Heer im Jahre 1809 verlor die Festung ihre militärische Bedeutung. Die gesamte Festung Spielberg wurde ab 1820 zu einem zivilen Gefängnis. Unter Franz Joseph I. wurde die Anlage 1855 wiederum ein Militärgefängnis und Kaserne.
Brunnen
Der Burgbrunnen ist mittelalterlichen Ursprungs. In den Jahren 1716 bis 1717 wurde seine ursprüngliche Tiefe von 39 m auf 112 m erhöht, sodass der Grund unter dem Wasserspiegel des Flusses Svratka in Alt-Brünn lag. Der obere Teil des Brunnens ist aus Naturstein und Ziegeln gemauert, während der untere Teil nur aus Felsen besteht. Der durchschnittliche Durchmesser beträgt 3,5 m. Der Wasserstand beträgt 90 m, sodass ein Wasservolumen von über 1.000 m³ zur Verfügung steht. Am Grund des Brunnens befinden sich zwei horizontale Schächte mit einer Länge von 17 bzw. 26 Metern.
Durch die napoleonischen Truppen wurde mit der Zerstörung der Burg 1809 auch der Brunnen zugeschüttet, in den Folgejahren allerdings wieder freigelegt. Oberhalb des Brunnens befand sich ein Brunnenhaus mit einem Holzrad, das von Sträflingen angetrieben wurde, um das Wasser heraufzuholen. Dieses Haus wurde erst in den Jahren 1939–1941 durch die deutsche Wehrmacht abgetragen. Die letzten Reinigungsarbeiten in den Jahren 1990 und 1991 waren mit Forschungen verbunden, dabei wurden 308 m³ Material aus dem Brunnen geräumt. Dabei wurden interessante Funde freigelegt, die im Museum der Burg ausgestellt sind. Unter diesen findet sich auch ein Skelett eines Soldaten aus dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seine Identität ist aber unbekannt.
Nahe dem Brunnen liegt noch eine barocke Zisterne, in der das Regenwasser der umliegenden Dächer aufgefangen wurde.
Seit 1990 befindet sich an der Rückwand des Burghofes ein Glockenspiel, das aus 15 Glocken mit einem Gewicht zwischen 16 kg und 220 kg besteht.
Kasematten
Die Kasematten sind als zweistöckiger militärischer Unterstand (für 1.200 Mann) mit angeschlossener Kerkeranlage unterhalb der Burggebäude angelegt. 1746 bis 1749 wurde hier Franz Freiherr von der Trenck inhaftiert, seine sterblichen Überreste befinden sich in der Gruft des Kapuzinerklosters in der Brünner Altstadt. 1783 ließ Kaiser Joseph II. das obere Geschoss der nördlichen Kasematten in ein Gefängnis umbauen. 1784 wurden per kaiserlichem Dekret in den Kasematten des unteren Stockwerks die lebenslang Verurteilten einquartiert. Dazu entstanden 29 aus Brettern gezimmerte Einzelzellen, in denen die Gefangenen angeschmiedet wurden. Spielberg wurde zum gefürchtetsten Gefängnis des Landes. Es galt als ausbruchsicher. Selbst die landesweit verbreitete Erzählung von einem einzigen, jemals von der Burg Spielberg gelungenen Gefängnisausbruch des damals sehr berühmten tschechischen Räuber Babinsky ist nur eine seiner zahlreichen persönlichen Legenden. Diese wurde von ihm selbst als ehemaligem Spielberg-Häftling mit der Nummer 1042 nach seiner Entlassung verbreitet. 1785 wurde auch das obere Geschoss der südlichen Kasematten zum Gefängnis umgebaut. Ab 1824 war dort der italienische Dichter Silvio Pellico als politischer Gefangener. Nach seiner Freilassung im Herbst 1830 verfasste er seine Erinnerungen „Le mie prigioni“, die das Gefängnis von Spielberg in ganz Europa bekannt machten.
1855 wandelte Kaiser Franz Joseph I. das bisherige Zivil-Gefängnis in ein Militärgefängnis um. Mit der Eröffnung des neuen Zuchthauses in Karthaus wurden 1857 die ersten Schwerverbrecher dorthin überführt. 1880 wurden die Kasematten der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs richtete sich die deutsche Wehrmacht in Spielberg ein. Diese führte an den Kasematten erhebliche bauliche Änderungen durch, um sie als Schutzkeller nutzbar zu machen. Auch die Gestapo richtete hier ein – wiederum berüchtigtes – Gefängnis ein um dort Widerstandskämpfer und Gegner einzusperren, die dort oftmals verstarben.
Heute
Während der Jahre 1987 bis 1992 fanden umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten statt. Es sollte der Zustand des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts wiederhergestellt werden, also die Zeit vor dem Umbau der Festung zum berüchtigten Kerker der josephinischen Zeit.
Neben einem Rundgang durch den Kerker und die Kasematten befinden sich wechselnde Ausstellungen und Installationen zur Stadt und Geschichte mit zahlreichen Dokumenten in den Räumlichkeiten der Burg. Ein Restaurant und ein Aussichtsturm im inneren Teil der Burganlagen bieten ein schönes Panorama auf Teile Brünns. Im Hof der Burg finden im Sommer regelmäßig Konzerte statt.

On 7 November 2019, Trial Chamber VI of the International Criminal Court (“ICC”), unanimously, sentenced Bosco Ntaganda to a total of 30 years of imprisonment. The time Mr Ntaganda has spent in detention at the ICC - from 22 March 2013 to 7 November 2019 - will be deducted from this sentence.
This is an important leaf from of Peter Lombard's Sentences produced in England c.1280. (See also Ref 73).
The text is perhaps from Distinction XIV of the book, as the second rubric on the verso seems to refer to Chapter 77 of the book (Chapter 4 of that Distinction). Having said this, the other two rubrics are not easily recognisable as referring to Chapters 76 and 78 and it is not known what the long text on the recto is.
The size of the leaf, including repair, is 326mm x 219mm (12 8/10ins. x 8 6/10ins.).
Many letters in the top and bottom lines with calligraphic extensions, most highlighted in red and five of which include dragon's heads.
The text seems to have been proof read, as there are instances where omissions have been identified and noted in the margin (example - line 15, right column, recto). There are also instances where the original text has been removed and replaced (example - line 52, left column, recto).
This leaf is quite well glossed. There are two glosses in bright red, the longer of which translates as "Here begins the permitted authorities that are explained". Other glosses in at least four different hands can be identified.
CONDITION OF LEAF: -
The leaf must have fallen away from the book at some time and then repaired so that it could be re-attached. Otherwise it is in very good condition for its age.
PROVENANCE: -
This information has been provided by Dr. Christopher de Hamel, Librarian, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
1.From a volume consisting of Books III-IV only of which this is the last leaf written in England about 1280;
2.Edward Walmsley, whose library was sold in London in 1795 (his signature in the bottom line of the outside column of text [mentioned in the 1980 catalogue description];
3.The manuscript was already imperfect by 1910 when a leaf was given by J.F.Lewis to the Free Library in Philadelphia (now Lewis fragment XIII:373);
4.Another leaf was owned in the late 1950's by the late Marquess of Cholomondley, who bequeathed it to the Society for Italic Handwriting, which still owns it;
5.Most of the volume, including the present leaf, was owned by Nell and Charles Wheeler (their sale, New York, 29th. July 1919, lot 593);
6.Purchased by the calligrapher C.L. Ricketts (and described in his possession by S. de Ricci, Census of Medieval and Renaissance MSS in the United States and Canada, I, 1935, p.646, No. 185, mentioning Ed. Walmsley [copy of entry attached to Ins. No. 73];
7.Sold at Parke Bennett in New York, 24th. February 1939, lot 280, for $100;
8.Re-appeared, still bound, at Sotheby's, London, 24th. June 1980, lot 59 (cat. description attached to Ins. No. 73);
9.Already broken up by late 1980 (see Sotheby's 14th. July 1981, lot 17 [cat. description attached to Ins. No. 73] ).
There is a leaf in Keio University Library, Tokyo, MS. 177, and the historiated initial for the opening of Book III, showing the Annunciation, was illustrated in A.M.W. As-Vijvers, Miniaturen en Monnikenwerk, 1999, p.57, no. 27, with colour plate.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Whilst not in perfect condition, this is a leaf of the greatest interest being from a book that was "the fundamental book of all medieval theology" (Bernard Quaritch). The book was written in the 12th. Century by Peter Lombard whilst he was professor at the cathedral school in Notre Dame in Paris.
It is a good example of the way that university textbooks were laid out - wide margins - as evidenced here by the wideness of the outside and bottom margins. They were made so to enable the student to write his notes about the text, the "Gloss".

Things to be annoyed by*:
1. Whimsical eyes in the "Look"s
2. Double exclamation marks which are
3. in the middle of a sentence which, although in question form, ends with a full stop (it's a surprise to see even that, though).
4. No apostrophe in "ploughmans" making it appear they can serve you up a ploughman on a plate and don't know that the the plural is "ploughmen". They mean, of course "ploughman's lunches". I'm happy with them shortening "ploughman's lunch" to "ploughman", but in that case they really should have written "ploughman'ses". Which is weird.
5. The apostrophe which went missing has turned up in "breakfast's". I thought it might be a scratch in the board (there are a couple, I notice) but high zoom showed it to be chalked in.
6. There's no apostrophe in "potatoes" or "salads" so why the inconsistency?
Other points of note:
There isn't one in thanks either, but who ever had of a single thank? Although, if there are many as stated, should it be thankses?

This area lacks of simple life necessities as the infrastructure is destroyed, the roads are full of rubble and sewage, which threaten the health situation of the inhabitants there.
Saideh’s husband works as a construction carrier in a very far place. Sometimes he leaves in the early morning and comes back in the middle of the night, or even in the next day, leaving his wife to take care of the children by herself.
One day, the battle started to be more intensive in that area, which had become suddenly a frontline area.
“Lana was four years old at that time. We were sleeping when a shell fall nearby causing a very loud and scary sound. I went directly to check on my sleeping daughters. Diana was crying, but Lana was sitting in her bed with her eyes wide opened, speechless. I tried to shake her from her shoulders while I was crying and calling her name, but Lana was very far from me, as if her soul was separated from her body.”
After this incident, Lana lost the ability to speak and she became dumb.
Two years had passed without any improvement in Lana’s situation. She was always mumbling with unclear sounds. “She used to use unclear sounds like mmmmmm or aaaaaaah. Sometimes when I fail to understand what she wants she becomes angry and start to cry. At that moment I feel myself the worst mother on earth”
Caritas opened a psycho-social support center in that area after the security situation had calmed down. the team got capacity building courses to be able to support 240 children, who had trauma and difficulties in getting in contact with other children. Also another center for education has been opened to help students who went back to school to catch up on their classed after they left school for many years.
The visits of the psycho-social team led them to Lana’s apartment. The mother immediately welcomed the idea of her daughter to attend the social activities along with other kids in her age. She believed that it might help her daughter to speak again.
“Lana was different than other kids” one of Caritas workers said, “we had some problems with her at the beginning as she is a hyperactive child. She can’t sit for 5 minutes on a chair. Silly things can make her loose concentration”
The team started to help Lana with patience, and after a while, Lana started to become more social with other kids, although she had difficulties in speaking and expressing herself.
“In one activity, we asked all the kids to play the Mute game, which means that every one of them had to express a word with gestures and movements. It was kind of letting other kids understand the difficulties Lana was facing, also it was for Lana herself to feel that she was not alone.”
Pierre of the psycho-social team said. “Even we asked every child to spell the word slowly after the other kids had guessed it like the way we usually do with Lana. When it was Lana’s turn to play the game, and after many tries, for our big surprise, Lana succeeded in saying the word “Egg”. This was the beginning for Lana to start to get back the ability to talk.”
Although the psycho-social support that Lana was getting from Caritas team was very useful for her, but it was not enough. Caritas team realized that Lana needs the help of a pronunciation specialist. They made some contacts with other NGOs to find out that GOPA is providing such services to traumatized children.
“I want to thank Caritas for everything they did to my daughter. They are standing beside her to get back the ability to talk. They also registered her with Gopa to have some pronunciation lessons, which I would never be able to pay for. My husband and I can barely provide food to my children”
Now every day, Lana continues to come to Caritas center along with her sister Diana. She started to gain back slowly her ability to speak, and the ability to live in joy, peace and happiness.

A paragraph demonstrating what it describes in wonderfully clear sentences that made me wonder how much revision it took the author to fit it all together just right. From page 20 in this 2005 book that I’ve starting reading on my Kindle.

Sometimes there are some issues where we just can’t tolerate negotiations.
We want justice, we demand fairness.
Negotiations! not at all and no more.
Captured from Sahabag, Dhaka. Peoples were protesting against the recent judicial decision of a war criminal. That soulless demon killed about 400 peoples during the liberation war in 1971. But he only sentenced with "Life in Prison". Peoples are demanding that the decision should be at least "Death Sentence".

PORTSAID, EGYPT - FEBRUARY 1: Riot police conscripts spotted inside the governorate headquarters - which broke out chaos as protester passed by
-
Thousands went down to the streets on Friday in memory of the dozens killed in clashes with security forces, also in solidarity with local football fans sentenced to death.
Protesters demanded the downfall of President Mohamed Morsi and called for the army to take over. Some protesters even demanded the independence of Porsaid - to be a separate country from Egypt.
The violence started after 21 football fans were sentenced to death for their involvement in last year's stadium riot that left 74 dead.
Army was deployed to the streets after Morsi announced a curfew - a curfew defied by protesters - to be imposed in Portsaid, Ismailia and Suez.
On 23 May 2014, Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (ICC), ruling in the majority, sentenced Germain Katanga to a total of 12 years’ imprisonment. The Chamber also ordered that the time spent in detention at the ICC – between 18 September 2007 and 23 May 2014 – be deducted from his sentence. Judge Christine Van den Wyngaert appended a dissenting opinion.

24 year-old Charly Pitman, of Brislington, Bristol, was found guilty of riot following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April. On 7th July 2022 she was sentenced to three years in prison.
During her trial jurors heard how she positioned herself at the front of the crowd challenging police officers as they attempted to separate them from the neighbourhood police station.
They were shown footage of her acting aggressively towards the officers, striking their shields and helmets, and were told her actions caused them and others to fear for their safety.
Judge Julian Lambert said Pitman made a conscious decision not to leave the riot and encouraged others to attack police officers. He added jurors decided quickly there was ‘no basis for self-defence’, as Pitman had claimed during the trial.
Including Pitman, those jailed for offences committed during the riot have been imprisoned for a combined total of 74 years and nine months.
This is a leaf from a Thomas Aquinas "Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard" that was produced in Italy during the second half of the fifteenth century.
The text is from Book I, Distinctio XIX, from Question IV at the end of Articulus I, followed by the Solutio to that Articulus, Articulus II followed by its Solutio and Questio V “Circa secundam” followed by the beginning of its Articulus I.
The size of the leaf is 288mm x 212mm (11 3/10ins. x 8 3/10ins.).
PROVENANCE: -
From a manuscript that was number 12 in an American bookseller's catalogue at a time when it had 309 leaves. Single leaves emerged in Otto Ege “Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts …. Copiously Annotated”, Cleveland, mid 1940's, no. 26 at $4 each.
Gwara Handlist 40.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
With the exception of two age related marks on the verso this is a superb, clean, leaf containing a superb script that was influenced by the model of Petrarch's handwriting. It is a handsome leaf from an important text of the Middle Ages crowning several centuries of study in Biblical exegesis, doctrine and Canon Law.
THOMAS AQUINAS: -
Born in Lombardy and educated by the Benedictines at Monte Casino, in about 1239 he went to the University of Naples where the Dominican Friars in whose Order he enrolled in 1244 impressed him. He was ordained in 1250 in Cologne.
After studying at Paris he became a teacher there and wrote various commentaries. He then went to teach in several Italian cities before returning to Paris but in 1272 Naples demanded him back. It was there on 6th. December 1273 that he experienced a devine revelation so wonderful that he left his great Summa Theologica incomplete, saying that all his writings were like so much straw compared to the glory which had been shown to him. He died on 7th. March 1274.
PETER LOMBARD AND HIS “SENTENCES”: -
Peter Lombard, a scholastic theologian of the twelfth century, was commonly known as "the Lombard" after his birthplace which actually was probably Novara. It is expected that he then moved to Lombardy approximately after his birth in 1105-1110 CE He died in Paris, France about 1160 (1164). Although his family was poor, he found powerful patrons such as St. Bernard, that enabled him to gain a higher education at Bologna, then at Reims in France, and finally in Paris. In Paris, Peter taught theology in the cathedral school of Notre Dame, and it was there he found the time to produce the works discussed later in this article. Their dates can be only approximately fixed. The most famous of them, the Libri quatuor sententiarum , was probably composed between 1147 and 1150, although it may be placed as late as 1155. Nothing is certainly known of his later life except that be became bishop of Paris in 1159. According to Walter of St. Victor, a hostile witness, Peter obtained the office by simony; the more usual story is that Philip, younger brother of Louis VII, and archdeacon of Paris, was elected but declined in favour of Peter, his teacher. The date of his death can not be determined with certainty. The ancient epitaph in the church of St. Marcel at Paris assigns it to 1164, but the figures seem to be a later addition. The demonstrable fact that Maurice of Sully was bishop before the end of 1160 seems conclusive against it, although it is possible that in that year he resigned his see and lived three or four years longer.
The historic importance of Peter Lombard rests on his Sentences and the position taken by them in medieval philosophy. The earlier dogmatic theologians, such as Isidore of Seville, Alcuin, and Paschasius Radbert, had attempted to establish the doctrine of the Church from Bible texts and quotations from the Fathers. In the eleventh century this method gave place to dialectical and speculative working over of the traditional dogmas. Peter Lombard came into the field at a time when the new methods and their dialectical artifices were still exposed to wide-spread objection, but when the thirst for knowledge was exceedingly keen. One text-book after another was being published, the majority of them either issuing from the school of Abelard, or in some degree inspired by him. Of these works the greatest influence was attained by that of Peter, which was, for the time, an admirable compendium of theological knowledge. It is written under the influence pre-eminently of Abelard, Hugo of St. Victor, and the Decretum of Gratian. Whether Peter had himself seen the early writers whom he cites is frequently uncertain. As to his contemporaries, whom he knew thoroughly, he shows the influence of Abelard in his whole method and in countless details, while preserving a critical attitude toward his most pronounced peculiarities. On the other hand, he follows Hugo very closely and often textually, though here also with a tendency to avoid the purely speculative elements. For his sacramental doctrine, Gratian is very useful, especially through the quotations adduced by him and his legal attitude toward these questions.

“Pastor Marcos, que não é pastor, é homem de confiança do Marcinho com a sociedade, já matou pessoas com o Marcinho. Ele lava o dinheiro do Marcinho" noticias.terra.com.br/brasil/policia/,0ee8c4cf29942410Vgn...
It is rather unusual for a photographer, to be able to take photos of his assassin, before he is killed; or for that matter, for a photographer to take a series of photographs of the individual who later on, would place a murder contract on the photographer.
That is exactly the case with this photo series.
On Oct. 2009, I did a series of photos and videos of Brazilian Pastor, Marcos Pereira da Silva, who appears on most of the photos of this series, while he visited the NY-NJ Region in Oct., 2009.
Soon after, I decided to stop doing this work, because of many illegalities witnessed of Pereira da Silva.
Months later and until the present, Pereira da Silva, did place a murder contract on Branko, because of the information that Branko had acquired of Pereira's wrongdoings.
During the beginning of March 2012, several people have denounced Pereira da Silva in Brazil.
The charges are for child brutality, rape, killings, placing murder contracts on other individuals, etc.
One of his denouncers has called him, "one of the biggest criminal minds of Rio de Janeiro", and I, by my own experience, happen to agree.
On May 7 2013, Pastor Marcos Pereira, was arrested in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
He is indicted for several rapes, some minors. He is also being investigated for Money Laundering for Drug Cartels, Conspiracy to commit several murders.
Several killers contracted by Pereira, continue trying to kill Branko to this date.
The FBI, Newark Police and Newark's US District Attorney's Office have done a Cover up of Pereira's Case in the US.
Branko
Esta serie fotografica, feita por Branko, do Pr. Marcos Pereira da Silva, foi feita na area de NY-NJ, em uma visita de Pereira da Silva aos USA, na area de NY-NJ em Out. 2009.
Depois de poucos dias, decidi suspender esta serie fotografica, porque descobri informação de Pereira da Silva, sobre ele fazer lavagem de dinheiro para narcotraficantes no Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Por causa disto, Pereira da Silva tem pago assassinos para me matar, desde o començo de 2010 ate o presente.
Recentemente, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; no mes de Março 2012, tem aparecido muitas denuncias contra Pereira da Silva, por estupro, violencia infantil, ameaça de morte.
Em Março 7 2013, Marcos Pereira foi preso por varios estupros, incluindo menores. Tambem tem uma investigação de Pereira fazer lavagem de dinheiro para traficantes, conspiração de Pereira em varios assassinatos.
Varios assassinos contratados por Pereira, continuam querendo matar Branko ate a presente data.
O FBI, Policia de Newark e o esritorio do Promotor do Governo nos US em Newark, tem feito um encobertamento do crimes de Pereira nos US e os atentados de assassinato de Pereira em contra de Branko nos US
